In this paper, we study second order fluctuations for the size of the range of a critical branching random walk (BRW) in $\mathbb Z^d$. We consider the BRW with geometric offspring indexed by the Kesten tree, and show that the size of its…
The branching capacity has been introduced by [Zhu 2016] as the limit of the hitting probability of a symmetric branching random walk in $\mathbb Z^d$, $d\ge 5$. Similarly, we define the Brownian snake capacity in $\mathbb R^d$, as the…
We consider an infinite-dimensional stochastic clustering model on $\mathbb{R}$. In discrete time, each point of a unit-intensity simple point process moves halfway toward either of its left or right neighbors, chosen uniformly at random.…
In this last decade, an important stochastic model emerged: the Brownian map. It is the limit of various models of random combinatorial maps after rescaling: it is a random metric space with Hausdorff dimension 4, almost surely homeomorphic…
We consider here multitype Bienaym\'e--Galton--Watson trees, under the conditioning that the numbers of vertices of given type satisfy some linear relations. We prove that, under some smoothness conditions on the offspring distribution…
We prove that the scaling limit of the weakly self-avoiding walk on a $d$-dimensional discrete torus is Brownian motion on the continuum torus if the length of the rescaled walk is $o(V^{1/2})$ where $V$ is the volume (number of points) of…
Anomalous diffusion is frequently described by scaled Brownian motion (SBM), a Gaussian process with a power-law time dependent diffusion coefficient. Its mean squared displacement is $\langle x^2(t)\rangle\simeq\mathscr{K}(t)t$ with…
We study the maximal degree of (sub)critical L{\'e}vy trees which arise as the scaling limits of Bienaym{\'e}-Galton-Watson trees. We determine the genealogical structure of large nodes and establish a Poissonian decomposition of the tree…
In this paper we study Markov chains with the state space given by the coordinate axes of $\mathbb R^m$, $m \geq 2$, whose step sizes on each positive half-axis are distributed according to a centered probability distribution with variance…
Let ${\cal T}$ be a rooted Galton-Watson tree with offspring distribution $\{p_k\}$ that has $p_0=0$, mean $m=\sum kp_k>1$ and exponential tails. Consider the $\lambda$-biased random walk $\{X_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ on ${\cal T}$; this is the…
We establish the joint scaling limit of a critical Bienaym\'e-Galton-Watson process with immigration (BGWI) and its (counting) local time at zero to the corresponding self-similar continuous-state branching process with immigration (CBI)…
Global-local shrinkage hierarchies are an important innovation in Bayesian estimation. We propose the use of log-scale distributions as a novel basis for generating familes of prior distributions for local shrinkage hyperparameters. By…
Study of random networks generally requires the nodes to be independently and uniformly distributed such as a Poisson point process. In this work, we venture beyond this standard paradigm and investigate a stochastic forest obtained from a…
We consider a family of one-dimensional self interacting walks whose dynamics characterized by a monotone weight function $w$ on $\mathbb{N}\cup \{0\}$. The weight function takes the form $w(n) = (1 + 2^p Bn^{-p} + O(n^{-1-\kappa}))^{-1}$,…
We study the large population limit of the Moran process, assuming weak-selection, and for different scalings. Depending on the particular choice of scalings, we obtain a continuous model that may highlight the genetic-drift (neutral…
Consider a stochastic process that behaves as a $d$-dimensional simple and symmetric random walk, except that, with a certain fixed probability, at each step, it chooses instead to jump to a given site with probability proportional to the…
We study a branching random walk with independent and identically distributed, heavy tailed displacements. The offspring law is supercritical and satisfies the Kesten-Stigum condition. We treat the case when the law of the displacements…
We consider the dimer model on the square and hexagonal lattices with doubly periodic weights. The purpose of this paper is threefold: (a) we establish a rigourous connection with the massive SLE$_2$ constructed by Makarov and Smirnov (and…
This work introduces a construction of conformal processes that combines the theory of branching processes with chordal Loewner evolution. The main novelty lies in the choice of driving measure for the Loewner evolution: given a finite…
The integrated super-Brownian excursion (ISE) is the occupation measure of the spatial component of the head of the Brownian snake with lifetime process the normalized Brownian excursion. It is a random probability measure on $\mathbb{R}$,…
